To all whom'it may concern Be it known that I, JosErH N. PAUL FOURNIER, a subject of the King of England, residing at St. Hyacinthe, in the Province of Quebec, Canada, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Tobacco- Pipes, of which the following is a description, reference being had to the accompanying drawing and to the figures of reference marked thereon.

My invention relates to improvements in tobacco pipes, and is an improvement on the pipe shown in my Patent No. 1,133,015, of March 23rd, 1915.

The object of the present invention is the same as in the aforesaid case, that is, to provide a tobacco pipe having a removable perforated plate or floor for holding the tobacco and the ashes, for keeping them away from the bottom of the bowl combined with a wick extending below the plate into the space where the nicotin and liquid substances collect, and leading to the top of the bowl to absorb such substances and prevent their passing into the smoke passage leading through the stem.

The improvements over the former construction involve the simplification thereof, and consist in a new construction of tobacco-supporting plate, and means for holding the wick, all as hereinafter described and referred to in the appended claims.

The invention is illustrated in the accompanying drawings, in which,

Figure 1 is a side elevation of a pipe provided with my invention, the bowl being shown in section; Fig. 2 is atop View of the bowl of the pipe with the attachment 'removed; Fig. 3 is a vertical section through the bowl at right angles to the section of Fig. 1; Fig. 4c is a detail View of the blank in its original condition; Fig. 5 is a detail view after it has been partially formed; and Fig. 6 is a detached perspective view of the same in its completed state.

In these drawings, 1 represents the bowl of the pipe which may be of any suitable form and material.

down one side and across the bottom of the bowl, and in this recess my improved attachment and the wick are located. This attachrnen't "is shown in its blank form in Fig. 4 and is indicated at 6. It is formed withv side flanges 7, which fit in the recesses and 'bind against the side edges thereof to hold the attachment against accidental displacement. These side flanges of the wall of the recess and the vertical portion 8 of the plate, form a closed recess for the wick 9, which extends down into the bottom of the bowl to absorb the nicotin and liquid substances which otherwise would accumulate in the bottom of the bowl and be drawn into the smoke passage in the stem.

The vertical plate is bent at its lower end into a bowl-shaped plate 10, to support the tobacco, and has perforations 11 formed by prongs 12 punched out of it and bent down, which prongs space the plate from the bottom of the bowl, and also engage and hold the wick in place.

The perforated plate 10 supports the tobacco and ashes and allows the smoke to be drawn through, the wick catching the objec tionable matters above referred to. be understood that various minor modifications and changes may be made in the construction of the device, without departing from the spirit of my invention.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new and desire to secure by Let ters Patent, is

1. An attachment for smoking pipes comprising a vertical plate supported by the bowl and having side flanges, a wick held between the bowl and the plate and side flanges, said plate having a perforated lower horizontal portion.

2. An attachment for smoking pipes comprising a vertical plate supported by the bowl and having side flanges, a wick held between the bowl and the plate and side flanges, said plate having a perforated lower horizontal portion, the perforations being formed by prongs punched out of said horizontal lower portion and bent downwardly to space the same from the bottom of the bowl, and adapted to engage the lower end of the wick.

3. A smoking pipe comprising a bowl having a vertical recess therein, a vertical plate having side flanges fitting said recess,

a perforated tobacco supporting plate at the lower end of said vertical plate, projections extending downwardly from the tobacco- It will supportingplate, and absorbent material exing below the tobacco-supporting plate and tending below the tobacco-supporting plate arranged in said recess and engaged by said and arrangedin said recess. projections.
